Administrative divisions of Sedunn (Pacifica)
Since the administrative reform of 2014 Sedunn has three levels of administrative divisions. The territory is divided into twelve provinces (Sedunnic: dolē), which are further divided into 297 municipalities (tavvasa'lē) and 2541 districts (ovutlē). The provinces are self-governing local authorities responsible for providing advanced public health care, public transportation and regional development. The municipalities have local self-governing authority and are the main welfare providers. They also provide emergency services, public social services, sanitation and urban and rural planning. The purpose of the districts is population registration, including civil registration of births, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths, and for the collation of census information.
Furthermore, all provinces belong to one of the six so-called authority coordination regions (Sedunnic: stoveaffulsaflē (SES)). Various authorities such as those for military and civilian defence or energy use these to coordinate and delegate planning and daily work.
There are eleven historical counties (Sedunnic: haenlē) that still are important in culture. The counties are still recognised officially, but since the latest administrative reform all real duties were assumed by the new provinces which were designed to have a more equal population distribution. Culturally, Sedunn is also divided into Beilltemm-Sedunn (Bailtem-Sedunn) for the lands located in Bailtem and the overseas territory Remetull Islands in the South Pacific Ocean .
Provinces
The province is the top-level administrative level of Sedunnic territory. The provinces were created in 2014 in attempt to achieve a division with more equal populations than the old counties had. For example, the smallest county Deriess had a population of 175,000 while the most populous, Servelann, had over seven million inhabitants. The province with the lowest population is now Yveg with almost 1.5 million inhabitants, while the most populous one is Setrusop with a population of almost five million. The borders of the provinces are based on the old counties to large degree. There are twelve provinces.
The provinces are self-governing local authorities responsible for providing advanced public health care, public transportation and regional development. The seat of the province government is in the largest cities.

Municipalities
Sedunn is divided into 319 self-governing municipalities, of which 22 are located on the Remetull Islands. The municipalities generally consist of one city or town and adjacent villages and land. The largest settlement in the municipality is generally the seat of the municipal government and the municipality is also named after it. The municipalities are the main welfare providers and also provide emergency services, public social services, sanitation and urban and rural planning.
Districts
The lowest administrative level of Sedunn is the district. The purpose of the districts is population registration, including civil registration of births, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths, and for the collation of census information.
Authority coordination regions
The various authorities, local governments and public utilities (including those for military and civilian defence or energy) are encouraged, or in applicable cases, mandated to coordinate and delegate planning, daily work and resources in the so-called authority coordination regions. There are five regions in Bailtem-Sedunn consisting of two to three provinces. The Remetull Islands are a region of their own. The regions are expected to maintain a level of self-sufficiency in case of disasters or war.
Counties
The highest administrative level of Sedunn was the county until the 2014 reform. The counties still exist, but have no official function. There are eleven counties, and they have remained relatively unchanged from their creation in the late 15th century. The responsibilities of the counties were transferred to the provinces and authority coordination regions, but they still hold a cultural significance and represent separate dialect continuums.
